Abstract

Malaria and trypanosomiasis are diseases which afflict millions, for which novel therapies are urgently required. We have tested two well characterized cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) for anti-parasitic activity. One CPP designated TP10, has broad spectrum anti-parasitic activity against Plasmodium falciparum, both blood and mosquito stages, and blood stage Trypanosoma brucei brucei
